Why Become a SPTO Industry Member

Apart from its mandate of representing the tourism sector of the Pacific region, the Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) is also dedicated to assisting any organisation involved in Pacific travel and tourism through its Industry Membership Programme. So if you are part of a travel and tourism organisation – whether large or small, regional or international – the SPTO Industry Membership Programme is the perfect programme for you to be part of due to the countless benefits you will receive, helping you to excel in the industry!

With four categories of membership available – Basic, Bronze, Silver and Gold – this Membership programme is designed in a way that offers a range of services and benefits most suitable for your organisation.
